According to the underlying law, the support is only given national, i.e. H. state, but not private universities and research institutions. The allocation of support is broken down by institution in the implementing provisions of the law. The distribution key is used to develop research in all fields of the natural sciences and humanities.

In addition to the nationwide state universities and research institutions, the body also serves to train students at the national "Graduate University for Interdisciplinary Research" ( 総 合 研究 大 学院 大学 Sōgō kenkyū daigakuin daigaku, English Graduate University for Advanced Studies ).
